Don’t stop adventuring…let your tiny human be the catalyst for change in how you approach your adventures together.

Hey, hi, hello…I’m Heidi and I have taken a winding road to get to the life I am currently living and loving. Many things have changed over the years but seeking adventure and sharing adventure have always been essential for me. And now I want to share adventures with you and your family.

I am a certified Wilderness EMT and I have spent the past 10+ years roaming the frontcountry trails and venturing into the backcountry throughout the United State and Europe. I have experience co-hosting and planning retreats as well as attending retreats.

The Weekend in the WIlderness retreats were unknowingly born with my daughter…I want to show her the world and i know there are many families out there who feel the same way! Let’s go adventure!

 

Meet Your Host, Heidi!

  • Close your eyes and think about the perfect way to spend a weekend in the wilderness. What do you see? Who is with you? What are you doing? My idea of an ideal weekend escape looks something like this…

    …a remote mountain hut
    .…my tiny human and partner in tow
    …planned activities I can assist with but not actually think up
    …meals provided by [and cleaned up by] someone else
    …easy access trails to hike, preferably to an alpine lake
    …other like-minded people to make it feel a bit social
    …a mix of structured flexibility so we can all stay sane.

    Yea, I’m a mom who needs a weekend away from home to avoid all the laundry and dishes and meal prep…but also really wants to get outside where I can watch my daughter discover the world.

    “Perfect” weekends in the wilderness are not exactly easy to come by especially once you have procreated tiny humans. There is a lot of planning and planning bring stress and stress steals fun. Yes, planning can be a fun sponge, even when planning truly is your jam. Luckily I have a few successful weekends in the wilderness under my belt and with that I’ve created a fairly fool-proof schedule of activities.

    This is precisely where the idea of hosting Weekend in the Wilderness retreats grew from.

    I was planning backcountry adventures for my own little family and inviting friends along to enjoy the organized chaos of kid-friendly adventures. We would pile gear into our cars and verbally cross off checklists at trailheads then venture into the wilderness…with great success!

    It has been going so well I decided I wanted more. More for myself, but also more for a larger group of outdoor loving families. I created this Weekend in the Wilderness retreats as an excuse for like-minded families to get into the backcountry for all the memory-making fun…but none of the planning headache.

    I’m here to do all the planning, answer all the questions, provide all the packing lists, and ensure all the details are nailed down. All you need to do is commit to a weekend of adventure, check off items on said packing list, and arrive at the trailhead ready for a weekend of good ol’ fashion family bonding in the wilderness.

    Are you ready?!

    Because I am so very ready and so very excited to help make this weekend something your kids will be asking for every summer.
